Gather all the ingredients and crush the cardamom pods if not done yet.
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Add 2 tablespoons of green tea into the water and allow it to steep for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the baking soda and boil for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the star anise, crushed cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick; let simmer for 1 minute.
Reduce heat and allow the tea to simmer for 20-30 minutes, enhancing the flavors.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and gradually stir in the 2 cups of milk, bringing to a gentle boil.
Once the tea takes on a beautiful pink hue, remove from heat.
Strain the tea into cups, sweeten with sugar or honey, and garnish with crushed nuts.

For a vegan version, substitute whole milk with almond milk or coconut milk. Adjust sweetness to taste with honey or sugar.
